HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Some bad communication between two men escalated into violence early Saturday morning, Aug. 16, 2014, when two men kicked in an apartment door in south Huntsville and began fighting with the man who was staying there.

Huntsville police report that on Friday afternoon, a man, who is staying in his sister's apartment at 2700 Lantern Walk while she is out of town, had been sitting on the porch of the apartment not far from Challenger Elementary School in south Huntsville. Another man, a stranger to him, walked by and said something he couldn't understand. The two men exchanged words, and the walker continued on his way.

Then, at just about dawn, the first man told police, the walking man returned – this time with a baseball bat and a friend. The two men kicked in the door of the apartment and began attacking the man staying there. Police say the fight did not involve the baseball bat.

The first man was able to fight them off and could point out for officers the apartment where they ran. The police report stated that no suspects have been named or people arrested in the attack.
